Smoked Bucket Chicken (Native American Style Chicken)

5.0(4)

This chicken will be the best dang bird you'll ever taste in your life, that is unless you have Ralph S. cook it for you. I suggest you fry up some cubed seasoned potatoes and serve the chicks with those on the side. DANG IS THAT CHICKEN GOOD!
